Different MRI structural processing methods do not impact functional connectivity computation.

ABSTRACT: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) has become an increasingly popular technique. This technique can assess several features of brain connectivity, such as inter-regional temporal correlation (functional connectivity), from which graph measures of network organization can be derived. However, these measures are prone to a certain degree of variability depending on the analytical steps during preprocessing. Many studies have investigated the effect of different preprocessing steps on functional connectivity measures; however, no study investigated whether different structural reconstructions lead to different functional connectivity metrics. Here, we evaluated the impact of different structural segmentation strategies on functional connectivity outcomes. To this ai
